World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Tuesday praised India's action and its resolve to end the Covid-19 pandemic as the largest vaccine producer of the world.
"India continues to take decisive action and demonstrate its resolve to end Covid19 pandemic. As the world's largest vaccine producer it's well placed to do so," Tedros tweeted. He also hailed the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the fight against the pandemic. "If we #ACTogether, we can ensure effective and safe vaccines are used to protect the most vulnerable everywhere @narendramodi". India has one of the largest vaccine manufacturing capacities in the world and has secured authorisation to mass-produce the AstraZeneca, Novavax and Gamaleya Research Institute vaccines.
